The occasion, Viet Nam once again calls on related sides to respect its sovereignty, sovereign right and jurisdiction in the East Sea, as well as diplomatic and legal processes, and make active and practical contributions to maintaining peace and stability, and ensuring security, safety and freedom of navigation and aviation, the integrity of the UNCLOS, and rule-based order, she stressed.
